another d@*( day

its really getting hard i was here last nite and real up tight well i am back and i am no less messed up. took some extra depakot ans some muscle relaxers. its self destruct. tomarrow i might call my dr but i might not too. Y just to go in for an appointment and do what throw on that mask i carry through it on and tell him i amFINE DAMNIT!

Masks have their uses but they can be a hindrance too. Nobody can see behind the mask so if we say we're fine then they believe us unless we're drooling or something. I had one doc tell me not to be &quot;so Protestant&quot; (try to take care of everything myself).
I think it's best to lose the mask. If we ask for what we need we're more likely to get it!

I never wear a mask with any of my providers. I can't because whenever I have an appointment or commitment, I'm a basket case anyway. Can't mask something that is alive and shaking! LOL! If I have a commitment to do something or have an appointment, ANXIETY rears it's ugly head no matter what.

I tell ALL when I go......... and then I demand to know when they are going to fix it !!!!

Should you be taking extra depakote??? They monitor that thru bloodwork, right? Good grief, you don't want to go toxic on us!!

why dont u try and write it down then just walk in and hand it to doc? i am patient owner of the mask and expected docs to read my mind, on 1 occasion doc wasnt avaliable and receptionist handed me some paper so i spilled out loads of stuff and doc actually rang me back it was embarrasing that he had seen the true mess i was in but i think it helped get me sorted
